If you are on firefox, try this: View -> Page Style -> No Style and scroll down. Hit <cntl>+ to enlarge if needed.
I do this on many sites nowadays - wish there was a way to make this a default setting for all sites. (Other browsers probably have a similar feature but I don't have one in front of me to give the step-by-step instructions.)
I came here to say this! I highlight lines as I read pages to stay focused, and when highlighting is (purposely) broken like this, it's really frustrating.
